The best place to see wild sunflowers is at 600, Ba Vi National Park, everyone.

Where to go stay in Ba Vi?

Ba Vi backpacking tour usually you can go during the day or if you stay overnight and go in a large group, rent a campfire. However, for some of you who need to stay at a hotel or motel, it can still be met. If you want to rent a cheap room, you can rent a house on stilts.

You can choose Lam Ky hotel in Son Tay (Address: 119 Quang Trung, Trung Hung, Son Tay, Hanoi) – the minus point is that it is a bit far from the tourist destination, about 12km away.

If you want to be closer, you can stay at Bach Duong Hotel located on the way to Ba Vi National Park. If you want to stay by the hour or half a day, you can choose hotels right in the tourist area such as Ao Vua hotel, Dam Long hotel, Khoang Xanh hotel…

Fresh milk, caramelized yogurt, fresh cakes: Ba Vi is famous for cow’s milk, you will surely have heard of it. So, when coming to Ba Vi, not only enjoy these specialties, but also make them as gifts for everyone!

Hill chicken, food from wild boar: Because it is a mountainous area, Ba Vi has many dishes made from hill chicken and wild boar. My favorite dish is Roasted Salted Chicken and Braised Wild Boar with Five Flavors.

Important notes when coming to Ba Vi

Using a motorbike to go to Ba Vi, you should use a car or a clutch because the road here is very steep. And remember to fill up the gas tank.
Whether it is a short trip, a long day or a vacation, you should bring the necessary medical equipment: Mask, headache medicine, bandages, mosquito repellent, anti-squeeze in case of mosquito bites and squeezes. Please!
